Square Enix announced the Nintendo Switch2 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on June 9, 2026, with a digital release set for July 23 and a physical version following on August 27. Pre-orders opened the same day. The package combines Final Fantasy X, originally released in 2001, and its direct sequel Final Fantasy X-2 in a single HD remaster. The digital edition costs 6,688 yen, and the physical edition costs 7,480 yen, both including tax. The physical version includes a limited-time special sleeve case featuring the FFX 25th Anniversary Logo art, designed by Tetsuya Nomura.

The Switch2 version includes a Game Boost Function that lets players adjust game speed, character stats, and encounter rates. This feature was absent from prior releases of the HD remaster. Store-specific pre-order bonuses include digital wallpapers from the Square Enix e-STORE and original stickers from Amazon.co.jp. The original Final Fantasy X marked its 25th anniversary on July 19, 2026, and the Switch2 release coincides with that milestone.

The download version launched on July 23, 2026, as scheduled. A Steam weekly sale in late June 2026 discounted the game by 60% off, running until June 26. The Switch2 version was also listed among notable releases in weekly roundups covering July 20-26, 2026.
